"After a week of investigation and evidence collection, we confirmed that Future Technology is legal and fair. The lawsuit against Future Technology's anti-trust investigation will be withdrawn in the near future … "In front of the cameras, the spokesperson of the Department of Justice in a suit held a script and finished reading the words without any expression.
The Congress that originally agreed with the anti-trust investigation suddenly changed its mind. The Massachusetts state senator suddenly stood up and questioned the fairness of the anti-trust investigation.
The head of the Department of Justice almost vomited blood.
Massachusetts was the home of the B City Consortium, and everyone knew what that meant. What the head of the Department of Justice didn't understand was that they were the ones who initiated the anti-trust investigation, but now they suddenly changed their mind. What was going on?
But faced with the boiling public opinion, the Department of Justice couldn't hold on any longer. The Capital requested them to end the investigation as soon as possible. Whether it was a fine or anything else, they wanted it to be done as soon as possible. Now even homosexuals jumped out and criticized the UA government for obstructing their legal right to discuss Plato's spirit in virtual reality …
Issuing a fine required evidence. Although it wasn't impossible to do anything reckless in a country ruled by law, evidence must be followed. Just like Future Technology stated, they were established less than two years ago. From any perspective, they didn't meet the definition of a monopoly.
Since they couldn't issue a fine, they could only withdraw the lawsuit.
On the night the Department of Justice withdrew the lawsuit, Future Technology made an announcement on their official website.
"We welcome the correct decision made by the UA Department of Justice. Future Technology adheres to the principle of fairness and has never used its dominant market position to interfere with the normal operation of the market. From today onwards, the virtual reality network will resume operations. Future Technology will serve you wholeheartedly! "
Once the announcement was made, it immediately created a wave of cheers on the internet!
"Hahaha! Godly Land is finally open again! I haven't played for a week, let me take a sip! "
"Our virtual reality is back, this is the victory of democracy and freedom!"
"Thank god, the feeling of insomnia is excruciating. Although I don't wear a helmet every night … but the helmet is right next to me and I can't use it, it feels like something is missing. "
The rumor of Future Technology withdrawing from the UA collapsed. On the night of service resumption, the peak number of concurrent users in Godly Land's North America region exceeded 100 million!
Microsoft and Google were envious of Future Technology's success, but they had to admit defeat. They were optimistic that the lawsuit would last at least two years, and they could use these two years to break through the neural connection technology bottleneck, then develop a replacement for the Phantom helmet and seize Future Technology's market share in the North America region. However, no one expected the antitrust lawsuit to end so suddenly.
Although the anti-trust lawsuit ended, the influence of virtual reality raised the Capitol's vigilance. This further strengthened UA's commitment to virtual reality research.
The Pentagon allocated 400 million USD for the development of military virtual reality technology. Google and Microsoft, the two Chinese Internet giants, are the most likely to get a slice of this cake.
Not only the UA, but Japan, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, also announced that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries would cooperate with Sony in the field of virtual reality, investing 5 billion yen to develop training equipment for the Self-Defense Forces and Police Department.
Although Hua didn't make a statement, the Chinese Academy of Sciences had already listed the virtual reality project as a Grade A research project.
Although the various countries had not made much progress in neural connectivity …
In a sense, the withdrawal of the antitrust investigation had encouraged various countries to invest in virtual reality projects. No country would allow such an influential virtual reality network to fall into the hands of others.
What Future Technology needed to do was to maintain a technological lead so that the countries trying to get rid of them would never be able to live without them.
…
Papua Island, New Malaysia Special District.
Compared to the desolation half a year ago, after Future Group's drastic transformation, it became the largest industrial park on Papua Island.
Steel plants, aluminum plants, electronic equipment processing plants, and other highly polluting enterprises sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, completing Xin's transformation to reduce pollution. At the same time, apartment buildings, supermarkets, schools, bars, and other supporting facilities also emerged. The lives of Papua Island residents were greatly improved.
Robot parts, the "foundation" of Penglai City, pure electric car batteries … An endless supply of goods was transported from the port to Ange Island to inject blood into Jiang Chen's technology empire. Now it wasn't just Future Group's industry. As Xin's highly polluting enterprises moved from Ange Island, Malaysia and New Guinea companies continued to move in, making the place a hot spot for investment in South Asia.
Because of this, Future Group made a fortune in the special district. To Future Group, the Malaysian and New Guinea governments were also thankful. And this was directly reflected on the policy side. The approval of Future Group's factory construction was green-lit, and the protests of environmental groups were suppressed.
Both governments were eager for Future Group to invest more money on the backward Papua Island. How could they allow a small group of people to protest? High-pollution heavy industries drove GDP and attracted foreign investment. It was a necessary step for the rise of China!
Less than a week after the conflict between Future Technology and B City Consortium ended, Jiang Chen arrived at the largest island in the Pacific Ocean on a private plane and arrived at his industrial park.
It was the first time since the establishment of the special district.
"I welcome you on behalf of the people of the special district, Mr. Jiang Chen." He extended his hand from afar, and the chief executive of the special district, Mackey, greeted him with a smile.
Although the special district was established on the border between New Guinea and Malaysia, the administration of the special district was still handed over to Malaysia, which had a stronger international influence.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mackey." Jiang Chen shook his hand and exchanged a few words with him. Then the two sat in the car sent by Future Heavy Industries to pick him up and headed to the headquarters of Future Heavy Industries in the special district.
The reason why Jiang Chen personally went to Papua Island was not for a vacation.
Mackey smelled the wind as he kept asking Jiang Chen questions along the way, "Is Future Group doing something new?", "If you want to build a high-tech factory, can you prioritize the special district?"
But Jiang Chen only smiled and didn't explain the purpose of the trip.
Just two days ago, in the materials science laboratory of Future Group, the graphene material research team led by Lu Yuan made a major breakthrough in the industrial production of semiconductor-type graphene materials, making it possible to produce graphene chips.
Of course, the reason why they could make such a major breakthrough in such a short period of time was due to the information Jiang Chen obtained from the apocalypse. And in the production line of the virtual reality helmet, the automatic production technology of semiconductor-type graphene was already used, but it was not disclosed to the public.
Once graphene chips were popularized, it would bring a drastic change to the current electronic production process!
Now, since Future Group introduced the graphene production technology, they obviously wouldn't let go of this vast market.
Future Technology not only wanted to be the Microsoft of the new era, but also the Intel of the new era!
It was time for someone else to sit at the top of the global semiconductor industry.
